I could pull samples from the 25 top small presses and publishers, showing off their ugly
cover designs, to demonstrate what a
poor choice these options are to authors (since the
cover will be the biggest factor in your book's success, and small presses or services that charge a publishing fee skimp on
quality design to make more money for themselves).
Xlibris, Authorhouse, iUniverse create
poor quality books with text crammed together, poorly
designed covers, and next to no support for twice the price.
